Thread Name: Obit: Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners (1934-2008)
Subject: RE: Obit: Ronnie Drew died (16 Aug 2008)
Dubliners on Radio Caroline in late 1960's one of my first introductions to Irish music.
In 2000 I found a Dubliners CD in the local Coop... and set my love of their music off again.
Never saw them in their heyday, but saw them - minus Barney and of course Ronnie in 2000 at Birmingham Symphony Hall. Ace evening.
Saw them again plus Jim and Ronnie at Dudley some time later... c 2003. Again an excellent evening.
God Bless Ronnie.
